Brand New
A Brand New Foundation
Pastor Kirk, May 23, 2021
Read: Luke 6:46-49
Big Idea: Following Christ is about finding a new foundation for your life
Getting to Know Each Other (Start Here):
- What was your first home like? Or what do you look for in a home?
Going Deeper:
- What are the cracks in your life (the things that keep happening and you wonder why)?
- Pastor Kirk referred to Soul Care as a resource to work on your foundation. What are some other resources that you have found effective in helping you get to your solid foundation?
- Read Luke 6:46-49 again. What jumps out to you as you hear this teaching?
- Each of the builders worked on their homes before the storms came. What is Jesus preparing you to face? Or how can your foundation be strengthened in Christ? What does verse 46 prompt in your mind?
- What is your life founded on? Do you have a guiding saying or verse? How do you live it out?
- What has the last 14 months of Covid revealed about your foundation situation?
- Are you willing to dig deep into what’s in your soul to discover the problems that are causing the cracks? What or who has helped you to dig deep?
- Are there certain situations that you know will reveal cracks in your life? Work as a group to discuss and pray about each other’s crack causing circumstances.
Apply it:
Use the Circle of Change method to process what the foundation of your life is:
- Observe/Reflect – Listening Prayer: Jesus, what is the foundation of my life? Where am I or have I constructed something apart from you?
- Discuss / Confess to a friend where you’ve constructed something apart from Christ.
- Plan and pray with your friend ways to demolish and rebuild.
- Act on your plan and ask your friend to keep you accountable.
Spend time praying for and with each other. (If you are comfortable allow moments of silence to linger to hear from God).
